Chapter 408 Thea opened and shut her mouth.
She did not expect James to return so soon.
She did not foresee this scenario.
Her cheeks were red.
She felt ashamed.
Even though she had not divorced James, she was now getting engaged to another man.
She looked at Zavier pleadingly. “M-Mr. Watson, could we postpone the engagement? I’d like to properly divorce
James before marrying you.” Zavier’s face darkened. He said coldly, “What do you mean by this, Thea Callahan?”
“I…” Thea was at a loss for words.
James was below the stage, staring at Thea, who was wearing a white wedding dress. He uttered word by word,
“Thea, I won’t force you to do anything. However, you and I are still husband and wife. We’re not even divorced,
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtand you’re already getting engaged to another man. What do you take me for?”
Even though James knew Thea was forced to do this, he was nonetheless aggrieved.
All this while, he had been working tirelessly to stay by Thea’s side.
Now, she was getting engaged to another man.
Most importantly, he was not even informed of this.
“Divorce is a simple thing to do. If you truly intend to leave me, I won’t force you to stay.” James had returned to
Cansington and married into the Callahans to repay her.
It was a token of appreciation for saving him. He would not force Thea to stay by his side.
He would follow her wishes.
“You trash! What nonsense are you spouting?!” Gladys raised her hand to slap James. She shouted, “Can’t you see
this is a joyous occasion? Why are you here? What can you give Thea in return?”
James raised his arm and blocked her slap. He glared coldly at Gladys and barked, “Enough! All this while at the
Callahans, I’ve never once complained. I only want Thea’s word.”
Saying that, he turned to look at Thea. Thea was put on the spot.
She knew she had been unfair to James.
She knew what she did was shameful.
However, she had no other options. If she did not get engaged to Zavier, she would be burdened with a heavy debt.
Her family would be ruined. Seeing James’ grim expression, her heart softened. She looked at Zavier and pleaded,
“Mr. Watson, could we postpone the engagement date?”
Saying that, she knelt.
“I’m begging you.”
Everyone witnessed the scene.
Zavier felt humiliated.
James got on stage and helped Thea up. “What are you doing? You’re my wife. How can you kneel before someone
else?” “James, I…”
“Say no more. We’ll talk about it when we get back.” James pulled Thea by the arm and left. Before coming, he had

James!”
Quincy stepped forward and rebuked him, “What are you doing here?”
James turned to look at her and said coldly, “Shut up.” Saying that, he turned to leave. Zavier roared, “Thea
Callahan! If you dare step off this stage, I’ll make sure to ruin the Callahans and wipe them off Cansington’s map!”
James turned and said coldly, “Is that so? In that case, I’ll wipe the Watsons out first.” “Haha! You?!” Zavier pointed
at James and burst into a peal of laughter. “Who do you think you are? Do you seriously think you’re the big shot of
the past…”
James waved.
A silver needle flew out and struck Zavier.
Zavier felt silent.
Then, under the crowd’s gaze, he collapsed.
